On Thursday, Tom Perez, Democratic National Committee Chair, went on MSNBC and struggled to defend Obamacare’s failures. Now, this tells you so much in such a short time.
Obamacare is so bad, all Democrats have a time trying to defend just how bad it is. Most defenders have resorted to blaming President Trump for sabotaging it. That’s nonsense but when you have politicians who didn’t read the bill before they signed it, what do you expect?
MSNBC host Ali Velshi asked Perez why Democrats won’t work with Republicans to fix the healthcare bill flaws that came along with the original Obamacare bill and Perez failed quickly.

“The problem with the Senate bill is it’s not a healthcare bill. It’s a massive tax cut for wealthy people,” Perez responded. “The Affordable Care Act has been a life saver for millions and as you correctly point out it is far from perfect.”
Velshi followed up by pointing out how millions of Americans didn’t see the benefits of the Medicaid expansion, and all they saw were their premiums increase and their doctor go away under Obamacare.
“The affordable care act, while it has obviously been a life saver for millions, it’s always been — had room for improvement, Ali,” Perez responded.
Perez stating that Obamacare saved million of lives is a nothing burger, don’t you agree? If this were the truth, why were so many Americans dropping coverage or not signing up for it? Why have so many insurance companies dropped out of participating in the exchanges?
It’s because Obamacare is a failure, plain and simple, and we don’t need a half-wit party chairman to screw up an interview to the American people with lies on top of more lies. But let’s not forget Perez didn’t offer up any solutions because they don’t have any. They didn’t want Republicans to help create their health care law, they didn’t read the bill before they signed it, and they set it up to fail hoping Americans would be begging for a single-payer system.
